dearest about our City and conference. Visit our website

My own contribution follows.

Co-Chair, New Orleans Local Advisory Committee
Decadence, thy name is tortue. Decadence in the form of chocolate,
caramel and pecans...tortues from Southern Candymakers in New Orleans.
If you have a sweet tooth, you have not lived until you've tried the
tortues (turtles) from Southern Candymakers in the French Quarter. Yes,
you can order them online
(http://www.southerncandymakers.com/StoreFront.bok
<http://www.southerncandymakers.com/StoreFront.bok> ), but when you drop
into the shop (one is conveniently located three blocks off of Canal
Street on Decatur, the other also on Decatur near the French Market),
you get wonderfully fresh tortues.
Best of all, like a kid in a... well...in a candy shop, you can also
press your nose against the glass and see the enormous trays of naked
tortues, ready to be blanketed in milk, dark, or white chocolate,
waiting to fulfill their gustatory destiny.
And, oh yes, the pralines are wonderful, too.
